This invention relates to hand covers and especiall relates to a novel love construction and the method of ma ing the same, whereby there is produced at the tips of the fingers and thumb, if desired, a double layer of material in proximit to the finger nail tips of a hand lnsertedm the glove.

lit is further an object to provide a glove.

and method of making the same whereby that portion of the tips of the finger stalls of a glove, most submit to wear, is provided with two-ply on s having a fold of material in proximity to the ti s of finger nails in the finger stalls. A desirable feature of such a glove is that the wear occasioned by abrasioneof the finger nail, is made against the inner lap ply instead of against the top fabric or other material of which the glove may be made. This wear is imposed on an inner liner member which is overlaid b an external layer whose life is prolongc to equal or be greater than the life of the back or outside material forming the finger stall.

in the accomplishment of this advantageous construction there is employed an intermediate connector tape or strip which is till disposed between the outside or books of the lingers and the lnside or palm portions of the fingers oi a glove; this intermediate connecting tape being doubled on itself around the tin portions of the fingers of the glove in sue a way that from the tip of the back of a finger portion to the tip of the inside or palm portion of the respective finger there is obtained a twoly tip terminal construction thus afiordin an inside Wear taking layer and an outside finish and protected layer about the ti of the finger.

It is understoo that the palm and back elements and their respective finger blanks may be of any desired or approved type and material, the present invention pertaining more especially to the double layer tip construction of desired fingers of the finished glove.

Figure 3 is a sectional'view showing the glove structure and one of its fingers; before turning.

Figure d is a detail section of the glove from the crotch of a finger back through the 56 me to be a highly economical and practical E mode of producing a glove.

For the purpose of connecting the margins of the outer hlanl: element 2 and the inner blanlr element 3 there is provided a fourchette or connector tape 5 of suitable width and length, and while it may be of such length as to extend from the tip of the little linger and entirely around the intermediate lingers and to the tip of the thumb, as in log. 1, it is understood that the connector tape 5 may be stopped oil at the tip of the fore-linger.

in the manufacture of the glove of the present invention substantially the full width of the connector 5, Fig. 4, is utilized at the crotchesot the fingers and the contiguous edges of the back and palm blanks 2 and Stare secured by lines of stitches 6 and 7 which extend to a suitable degree, preierably to about the second joint of each fin or at which joint the connector tape is fol ed at 8 and brought down and turned about the lid till) tip 9 so that a double or two-ply tip structure 101l', Fig. 3, is produced; the depth or the connector from the finger back portion 2', to the finger palm side 3 being about equal to one-half of the unfolded connector tape 5 at the crotch. The line of stitches 6 continues across the told'portion 8 and around the overfolded material of the ta e at the end of the finger and the line of stitc es 7 is likewise run 7 around the inner portion of the connector part 5' is folded down from the fin er back part 2 so that the edges of the fol ed ta e are connected by the stitches 7 to the insi e or palm portions 3' of the fingers. The advantage of this is that when the finished glove is turned inside out, known in the trade as turned, then the folded portion 5' of the tape is adjacent to the tip of the finger nail of. a hand inserted in the glove and it is not possible for the finger nail to catch under or pull up the lapped edges 5" as would be the case if these edges were opposed to the fin er nail tips.

igure 5 illustrates a novel thumb construction in which there is an inside or palmside thumb blank 15 having a straight base, attaching line 16, the blank 15 being provided with swelled side edges 17 and 18 to provide a fullness for attachment to the com lementary back or outside blank 19 whic is materially smaller than the palm blank 15 in transverse dimensions but is of substantially equal length as measured from its base line 20 which is equal to and corresponds with the base line-16 of the inside or palm thumbblank 15.

In Figs. 6, 7, and 8 there is shown another type of glove construction a pur ose of which is to bring the side-seam of t e forefinger and the side-seams of the thumb well up toward the back or outer side of the glove so as to protect the seam against wear, which usually results when the seam lies closely along the side surface of the glove as in the common type of construction. It is desirable to obtain this construction in a simple and practical manner, and the present invention, therefore, provides a method to such an end.

In Figure 6 there is shown in plan the inside or palm member 25 of a glove with the usual third, fourth, and fifth gers 25 and including a fore-finger part 26 which is char- I acterized as being materially wider than relative fingers 25' as indicated by the inside marginal portion 27 which extends well down toward thepalm zone of the glove and is separated from the thumb part 28 by an inward diagonal slit 29 which thus frees the fore-finger margin so that it can be drawn upward as indicated at 27', Fig. 7, to roll around the fore-finger and terminate at a seam line 30 practically at the. side of the back of the fore-finger.

The thumb part 28 is shown as having a bulbous form in plan providing an excess side portion 28' adapted to be drawn upwardly toward the back of the thumb and stitched alongzthe stitch line 30 to a thumb back 32, Fig. attached to or forming-a art of the glove back member 33 which has ger arts 33 opposed to the'palm finger parts 25 and includin a fore-finger back part 34 to which "is joine the inside fore-finger margin 27 above described.

completion of the thumb and the fore-finger junction, there is introduced at the crotch of the thumb and fore-finger, a uirk 35 which In order to provide for a desired fit and is shown in plan in Fig. 8 an has a curved uninterrupted edge 36 to be stitched at line 37 at the intersection of the back thumb 33' and the back fore-finger 34, the quirk also having an inner edge characterized by relatively angular and slightly curved margins 38 and 39, which intersect about medially of the quirk length. The edges 38 and 39 are respectively joined to the edges of the palm side 27 of the fore-finger, and the inner side of the palm thumb part 28; the quirk thus closing an opening which would otherwise exist at the crotch between the thumb and fore-finger of the glove back 33.

' What is claimed is:

1. The method of making a two-ply finger tip in a glove which consists of continuously layin and stitching a connector tape alon the e gas of finger parts of a glove blanfi and doubling the tape on itself about the tips of the fingers to produce multiple layers from back to palm finger tip arts of the glove.

2. The method of ma g an inner lined, love finger tip which consists of laying a ourchette tape along the edge" of a finger of the glove blank and folding the tape 'on itself around the finger tip and laying the tape along the other side of the finger, and stitching continously along the single laid and folded parts of the tape to join it to the finger ed e, and then stitching the relative opposite ger blank to the unattached edge of the connecting tape.

3. The method of making an inner lined glove finger tip which consists of laying a ourchette tape along the ed e of a finger of the glove blank and foldin t e tape on itself around the finger tip an laying the ta 9 along the other side of the finger, and stitc ing continuousl along the single laid and fo ded parts 0 the tape to join it to the finger ed e, and then stitching the relative opposite ger blank to the unattached edge of the connecting tape; the folding commencing at about the second joint on each side of the fin er.

4. T e method of making an inner lined,

e .join a to the finger edge, and then stitching the relative opfosite or inside finger blank to the unattache edge of the connectingntape.

5. A glove finger structure inclu g a back cover and an inner or palm side cover, and a fourchette tape having a single ply connecting said cover along 1; e sides thereof to the finger crotches; the tape being doubled on itself around and connected to the tip 'of the finger.

6. A glove finger structure including a back cover and an inner or palm side cover, anda fourchette'tape having a single ply connecting said cover along the sides thereof to the finger crotches; the tape bein doubled on itself around and connected to t e tip of the finger, the fold side of the doubled tape being connected to the tip 'of the back finger cover so that it will take wear of nail contact of an inserted fin r.:
